Here are a few management articles I found interesting this week.
The Enlightened Manager shares When is team building not team building - “If you really want to build a team - be very intentional about it. Don’t just assume that if you bring donuts that everyone will work effectively together. You’re more likely […]
For immediate release

Here’s what we’ve got so far:
Written Word

Regular readers of Slacker Manager know that I hold the Harvard Business Review (HBR) in high esteem.
Although the target audience is C-level leaders I believe anyone at any level of management can benefit by reading the HBR. The articles are well-written, they include wonderful illustrations, and the printed journal includes an eclectic collection of business […]
Phil and I are determined to honor people who have made outstanding contributions to management.
Instead of a quick link and a list in a blogroll we have created: The Order of the Golden Slacker. We will send the inductee a certificate to acknowledge them and we will write a longer post here to honor them.
If […]
Bain & Co. recently published their annual report about the top Management Tools of 2007. Some of their best include:
Strategic planning
Customer relationship management
Benchmarking
Mission and vision statements
Core competencies
Knowledge management
Strategic alliances
Of course there are quite a few more listed there that you can learn from. I cherry picked my favorite 7.
What about you? What do YOU see […]
Twitter is a deceptively simple utility. That said, Twitter isn’t for everyone. In fact it’s probably not even for half of everyone. But for those that have the patience to find their personal sweet spot, Twitter can be quite good indeed. If you’re not familar with Twitter, it’s pretty easy to describe. It’s instant messaging […]
Back on April 25th I did a session for the annual conference of the National Association of Graduate Admissions Professionals on “The Secret Art of Managing Your Boss.” It took me a while, but I finally figured out how to do a screencast and get decent audio (trick: acquire decent audio input device. Duh.). So […]
Considering the source, you may just want to skip right past this post, since I’ve only paid attention to political maneueverings long enough to learn how to avoid them. I’m not much of a political player at work. A few years (and positions) ago, an older colleague of mine was regularly berating me (in a […]
I just moved this blog from Typepad to Wordpress and figured that writing up my experience might help someone else. I won’t get into the merits of each system. If you’re thinking of switching, you can probably do that analysis for yourself. My switch was not without problems, so this is intended to be the […]
Disclaimer the first: I’m a web-idiot. I’m no designer. I’m no programer. Sometimes I see things I like and in the process of trying to build my own, I break other things. Caveat emptor, yo.
I’ve noticed a few folks doing pull quotes in their blog posts and I think it’s pretty cool. Feels kinda newspapery […]
It’s October and people are going to start getting sick. If you aren’t already familiar with The Four Hour Rule from the manifesto, here’s a primer. The basic idea behind the Rule is that you can have your cake and eat it too. Here’s the deal: early in the morning you make a call or […]
Many big organizations have “fast track” programs. When someone is selected to be a fast tracker, it usually means that the person is recognized as being a “high potential” person within the organization. With fast track/HiPo designation comes a variety of positions, often spanning the scope of the business, within a relatively short period of […]
I was in a reflective mood today and was thinking about characteristics I admire. Charateristics that I think are inherent to the Slacker@Work. There are three that came readily to mind: authenticity, humility and grace. I know, it sounds kinda new-agey or something. Bear with me because if you’re prone to philosophical navel gazing, I […]
Paving the path of least resistance, so you don't trip and fall.
